"Master, we're almost done with preparations for the ship home. Listen, about Laxus-" Rae put a hand on her stomach, trying to reason with Master but the old man just cut her off. He had nothing to say to the lightning dragon slayer. Laxus crossed the rule by laying foot on the guild's holy land.

"Yeah, I heard about his fight with Hades. He sacrificed himself by becoming a shield to save all of you from danger. I'm not discarding his efforts, I'm grateful for it. However, this gratitude's only extended in respect to an outsider unrelated to our guild."

Rae looked down on the ground and clenched her fists, feeling Master was being harsh.

"I expected no less. That's how the guild has been protected all this time. All I did was lend a helping hand. Nothing more." The brown haired girl snapped around and let out a breath seeing the blond man. Laxus gave her an assuring nod as he leaned against a tree.

Rae lifted her head and looked at Master who was crossing his arms and frowning then glanced at his grandson.

"Don't worry about it. I just happened to stumble upon this place by mistake during my travel. I never planned to stick around for long." Laxus smiled softly at the ground. Then, he raised his head.

"Hey, old man!" Master turned around with a grunt. Laxus let out a chuckle and shook his head. "That's it. That's the expression. At least, I won't have to see that glum face of yours anymore. Later." The lightning dragon slayer turned around and gave the girl a last look.

Rae tried to stop him but her head snapped to the sky, feeling something's off. There was a loud roar. And the Dark Enchantress was very sure it was because of it. Her silver eyes narrowed and the girl looked at Master with straight lips. Master looked at her worriedly, knowing the girl already had a crazy plan.

Rae snickered and took off a sprint, running to the base camp. The roar was getting louder. Haruka is right. He's here now. Gomen, Haruka for not believing you. Her silver eyes looked up at the black dragon of the apocalypse, Acnologia.

"Minna, get away from there!" The brown haired girl shouted loudly as her eyes saw trees were falling. Bella turned around and let out a yelp when the girl grabbed her with shadows. Rae held the bat in her arms and told everyone to stay put.

"Are you trying to say that some of us will be killed by this thing?" She heard Natsu screaming at Gildarts. Then, Acnologia took a long breath and Gildarts told everyone to run. Rae formed a shield, protecting everyone from the roar. Even its roar was very powerful enough to trash the island.

"Onee-san!" Lucy yelled for her sister. Rae grunted as she took the blow. The entire forest just disappeared in a blink of an eye. Rae looked up at the small bat with a soft smile.

"Minna, we don't have time to waste being afraid! Hurry up and head back to the ship!" The Dark Enchantress demanded them quickly and her heart was beating fast. Erza nodded her head and told everyone to follow her.

"Go! I'll distract him!" Rae screamed loudly as she attacked the black dragon when it flew straight to Freed and Bickslow. She heard Wendy tried to communicate with it. Rae shook her head at her action. The dragon won't talk to humans. It didn't even think of humans anything more than insects.

Rae used her wings and blasted the dragon a beam. Acnologia looked at her and hit her with its roar. It then slammed its tail on the island, breaking the ground. "Demon God Fire!" The Dark Enchantress attacked him when the girl saw it's onto Evergreen and Elfman.

"Rae!"

The brown haired girl ducked her head, avoiding his claws. Then, her eyes widened when she looked down. Master pushed Natsu behind and he grew big. He told the rest to go back to the ship and head back to the guild. He told them to leave without him.
